NOWLSON’S FARRIER OR HORSE- 
DOCTOR.—The greatest book for the treatment of dis¬ 
eased horses ever printed—containing also valuable hints for 
choosing a good horse, and directions for training horses. By 
J. C. KNOWLSON, F. Q. R. Price!25 cents. 
This is a plainly written treatise on horses and horse diseases, 
by one of the most eminent English farriers ever known. Mr. 
Knowlson, the author, was none of your theoretical geniuses 
called gentlemen farriers. He was a plain, honest, hard-work¬ 
ing man who doctored the horses with his own hands and liis 
own preparations. He treated more than a hundred thousand 
horses in his life time, having practised fifty odd years ; and lie 
made a record of each case, so as to judge of other similar cases. 
This is the way he gained his popularity. He died a few years 
ago, leaving e property equal to §150,000 in Yankee money ; yet 
he was a hard-working man to the end of his life. This is the 
only Horse-Doctor book that can be lelied on. 
AGENTS WANTED in all parts of the United States and 
Canada, to sell this and other valuable works. Sample Maps, 
Books, Charts and Prints sent by mail (post-paid) upon receipt

FARMERS AND GARDENERS WHO 
can not get manure enough, will find a cheap and powerful 
substitute in the IMPROVED POUDRETTE madefy the sub¬ 
scribers. The small quantity used, the ease with which it is 
applied, and the powerful stimulus it gives to vegetation, ren¬ 
ders it the cheapest and best manure in the world. It causes 
plants to come up quicker, to grow faster, to yield Iheavier and 
ripen earlier than any other manure in the woVld, and unlike 
other fertilizers, it can be brought indirect contact with the 
plant. Three dollars’worth is sufficient to manure an acre of 
corn. Price, delivered free of cartage or >package on board of 
vessel or railroad in New-York city, $150 per Darrel, for any 
quantity over six barrels. 1 barrel, $2; 2barrels, $3 50; 3 bar¬ 
rels, $5 00; 5 barrels, $8 00. A pamphlet with information and 
directions will be sent gratis anu post-paid, to any one applying 
for the same.

EAGLE FAN MIFF. 
rfPHE BEST AND CHEAPEST GRAIN 
- H - AND SEED SEPARATOR EVER OFFERED 
IN THIS MARKET. 
The superiority of this Fan consists 
First—In cleaning without a screen, by separating the impu¬ 
rities, such as chess, cockle, smut, &c.. by the blast alone, con¬ 
sequently saving the loss of the small sound kernels of wheat 
which must go through a screen. 
Second—An arrangement by which a part of the sound and 
perlect grains are separated from the rest for seeding, leaving 
the balance in a good marketable condition, so that the 
fanner need sow only such grain as contains the germ of 
growth. 
Third—Smaller seed, such as grass and clover seed, are 
cleaned in the most perfect manner. 
Fourth—Fans built on this plan will clean grain, both in the 
first and second cleaning, faster and better than any others now 
m use. 
Fifth—The cheapness and durability of its construction.
